Richard, I really like the picture you have painted here. I see what you mean about the ending, however, it is something you should come back to when you have a chance. These characters you have created do have life.

Pamela, thank you. I think this is one that could do with some revision. At the end, I’m just telling and not showing. Either abandon “flawed” and “demons” or use them differently elsewhere in the poem. Glad that the characters work.

Very interesting write, Richard. I like picturing this flawed twosome who cannot picture one another’s flaws. You say their demons see to that. Hmmm, might it not be angels? LOL. You always come up with a unique perspective.

I understand those demons, in some places they are called Denial. Denial always creates a prison, no matter how sumptuous the surroundings, and often works best when one has a silent partner in agreement with keeping out the big and little truths that might free us. Sometimes freedom is a frightening thing,

Elizabeth, thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. I love your interpretation. I wasn’t thinking Denial, but it absolutely fits in here. That idea might help me if I revise this one; thank you for that.

AH, I was channeling YOU in a comment on Brenda’s wordle (with a very similar comment to yours). But on this one, I was channeling Mary — I, too, wondered if it might not be angels blinding them to the flaws. 😉 Great use of the words.
